This study contains data for 48 members of three
international organizations: International Telecommunications Union (ITU),
World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and United Nations Space
Committee (UNSC), in 1969. Biographical information on the members is
provided, along with their attitudes, perceptions, and opinions of the
different organizations, and their views on the formulation of space
law. Also included is information on the length of respondents' membership
in the organizations and in the organizations' committees. Other variables
probe respondents' perceptions of the task of their organizations in regard
to international regulation of space exploration, the international system
and its effects on space exploration, factors that generated the highest
degree of conflict within their organizations, the space issues in relation
to other issues in international politics, structures of influence within
their organizations, and processes of integration, such as participation in
other organizations, and the effects of participation on these other
organizations. Respondents were also asked whether their organizations
should be performing other tasks in addition to what was being done, and
if the structures of their organizations should be changed in any way.
Demographic variables include respondents' age, sex, nationality, and
education.
